One thing I love to do when I visit with companies is collect their favorite quotes and mantras. It helps me to understand their culture and their values.

For this article, I thought I'd share my current list of favorites.

Earlier I expanded on the notion of Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and I promised a series of articles that explores aspects of MVP Tests that often cause product teams confusion. In this article, I’d like to discuss the relationship between the MVP Tests, Product Market Fit, and the Product Vision.

One topic I’ve never written explicitly about is the need for product passion. I’ve referenced it at the top of the list of traits for good product leaders, but it’s easy to take this for granted especially since the people I surround myself with professionally are generally very passionate about products.
